In Epstein we are taught the definition, the function, and ways to apply these claims in our arguments. According to the reading, a compound claim is known as an alternate; two combined claims with the words 'or' and 'and' which then transforms into a single claim. In other words, 'two becomes one'. When comparing this term to grammar, it is practically the same concept as compound sentences, even when using the same words to conjoin the two ideas. An example of two claims becoming a compound claim:
-I will buy you a slice of cake.
-I will buy you coffee.
When these claims are combined using the word 'and', the compound claim is stating that the person will receive both a slice of cake and a cup of coffee. When these claims are combined using the word 'or', the compound claim is stating that the person will receive on or the other and not both. These keywords determine the conclusion of the claims.
